Editorial Reviews BAND - Chris Butler
About the Artist
Seminal New Waver, blah blah & etc. Member of Tin Huey in late '70's. Songwriter/producer/guitarist for all Waitresses stuff (including "Square Pegs" TV show theme and "Christmas Wrapping"), early '80's. Spent rest of decade producing & writing songs in hard-won obscurity, and doing freelance writing for tech and music mags. Popped back on to the scene with a series of 45's recorded on antique audio gear using Edison wax cylinders, 1940's wire recorders and 1930's home diskcutters. Recently completed "The Devil Glitch", a 69-minute song with over 500 verses (1998 Guinness Book of World Records "World's Longest Pop Song!") and "I Feel A Bit Normal Today"...a CD of new material.
Album Description
...um...let's see...11 tunes, most of them brand new...some of them really ancient (i. e. "I Lie The Truth" is a tarted-up 1983 Waitresses demo)...general concept was to write about dysfunctional characters that one might encounter on a daily basis = passing for "normal"...recorded at my rehearsal studio, in my bedroom, everywhere...production concept was to keep the parts simple, but interlocking and not layered...has a rough demo quality that is more mid-fi than lo-fi...brass on "Capitalism" orchestrated by Chris D. Butler (no relation)...which leads me to my next project = a CD made with people only named "Chris Butler"!
